For SportsCare PT, we first focused on metadata optimization to help search engines with crawling purposes. Next, we focused on optimizing the H1 heading by incorporating the keywords most people search for.
In addition, we fixed crawled errors and added internal links that helped improve the on-site SEO page. Most importantly, adding schema to blog pages made it easier for visitors to find the various relevant blogs on a particular topic.

Another thing that we did was check for any broken external links. This can significantly impact the overall ranking of the site. We also helped the client fix their sitemap.xml and robots.txt.
